I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
1. how cells divide to produce new cells
2. meiosis as one of the processes producing genetic variations of the Mendelian Pattern
of Inheritance
B. Performance
Standards
The learners should be able to report on the importance of variation in plant and animal
breeding.
C. Learning
Competencies/
Objectives
Write the LC code for
each
The learners should be able to predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple
patterns of inheritance. - S8LT-IVf-18
1. describe how Mendel worked on the garden peas as his genetic tool ;
2. analyze Mendel’s experiment on garden peas to illustrate the Mendelian
principles of inheritance;
3. recognize the value of Mendel’s study in today’s understanding of inheritance
and variations of traits.
II. CONTENT Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
Mendelian Genetics

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous
lesson or presenting
the new lesson
Mirror! Mirror!
Ask the learners to look at the mirror. Then, after doing so, ask them to describe
himself/herself base on what they saw. The learners can identify as many physical traits
as they can, such as, the color of the hair, the shape of the face, body built, color of the
skin etc.
>Give emphasis that these listed physical traits or characteristics were based on what
they have observed using their eyes. These traits are referred as phenotype.
*Possible answer: Straight hair, pointed nose, round shape face, white color of the skin
B. Establishing a purpose
for the lesson
Match or Scratch?
Instruct the learners to look for a partner and exchange their list of answers. Compare
their list to one another and let them see if they have the same set of traits.
>Are all people look a-like? Why or why not?
*Possible answer: No, there are no two individuals who are exactly the same.
